"Well-it's still the biscuits flavor with deep-fried fishmeal powder!" In Marin's office, Foodie Kahn tried new and old compressed biscuits.

The old compressed biscuits consist of flour with vegetable oil, milk powder, cane sugar or maple syrup and other condiments. But no matter what you add, it's still pasta in the end.

The new military biscuits with deep-fried fishmeal powder are different because they have a meaty taste and are very crispy. Therefore, foodie Kahn likes it very much. The other guards who participated in the test also said that they prefer the new-style fishmeal biscuits.

Moreover, Marin was surprised to find that after using a screw press to compress the biscuits, the fish meal was actually tightly connected. It tastes a bit like inferior chicken steaks and steaks from later generations...well, deep-fried inferior chicken steaks and steaks...

In fact, later generations of inferior chicken steaks and inferior steaks are made of ground meat, glued together with edible glue such as carrageenan, and pressed. Of course, if you use the right meat and it's still good, you're afraid of using the wrong meat.

For example, steaks. Many low-quality steaks are not beef at all, but pork. After all, under normal circumstances, pork is more than ten yuan a catty, and beef is more than fifty. Therefore, it is the practice of unscrupulous black-hearted merchants to use minced pork to bond it and press it, and add some chemical additives that taste like beef. It is already considered a conscientious merchant to make steaks by gluing and pressing the minced meat from other parts of the cattle.

Marin doesn't have vegetable glue like carrageenan, but he has fish skin glue and fish swim bladder glue... well, but in the end Marlin still didn't choose to suppress fish steaks. Mainly, there is no need...

He just makes military rations, not fish steaks. Therefore, he only needs to mix deep-fried fish meal and wheat flour and press them into compressed biscuits.

But Kahn proposed another idea-clinker suppression!

Previously, Marin worried that the mixed biscuits and vegetables would lose vitamins if they were exposed to high temperatures. And Kahn, by chance, also likes to eat raw vegetables, like to eat green onions, and also like to eat green onions wrapped in black noodles, much like Qilu people.

Therefore, Kahn does not like the high-temperature roasting of vegetables. Because this will lose the original flavor of green onions.

And how to maintain the original flavor of green onions? Kahn put forward his point-clinker mixing and suppression!

Specifically-first bake the biscuits, fry the fish meal, and prepare the dehydrated green onion leaf fragments. After the three are processed, in addition to the original thin fish meal and dehydrated green onion fragments, the biscuits are also broken, and then mixed with the other two clinkers. Then, it is loaded into a steel mold, and the lever of a screw press is rotated to press into compressed biscuits.

Subsequently, for the issue of sterilization, Kahn also proposed that in the drying room below 80 degrees Celsius proposed by Marin, the method of drying dehydrated vegetables should be roasted on a steel frame at a temperature of more than 70 degrees for a period of time. Then, fill the bag quickly, press out the air, and seal it. When sealing, a short-time high-temperature sterilization is also used for the sealing. Although some vitamins will be destroyed, most vitamins can still be preserved.

Marin thought for a while and finally adopted Kahn's suggestion. After all, although separate packaging is not very troublesome. However, if one bag of biscuits can solve all problems, why use two greased paper bags?

However, because the packaging temperature is not high enough, it may affect the shelf life, which will be shorter than the shelf life of normal high-temperature packaging.

But Marin doesn’t care too much, because he is in a hurry...

According to the report of the spies from the Grand Duchy of Moscow, Vasily III had already begun to prepare for the war.

Although spring plowing in the Grand Duchy of Moscow has just begun, a bit later than in Western Europe, this does not prevent Vasily III from preparing for war.

The population of the Grand Duchy of Moscow is too large, exceeding 10 million. Even though most of the people were agricultural population, Vasily III could still find tens of thousands of woodcutters and herders who did not use farming to serve him. Many artisans in the city were also expropriated by him.

These expropriated people mainly consist of weapons, armors, and various supplies needed to prepare for war. Craftsmen are working hard to build and repair weapons and armors, while woodcutters go to cut down trees, make spear rods, or all kinds of vehicles for transporting supplies. The herdsmen prepare their animals as animal power for transportation.

The goal of Vasily III was naturally Smolensk, the easternmost part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Smolensk is actually a city-state of the Rus, and it has the same origin and origin as the Grand Duchy of Moscow.

But the problem is that Smolensk is a model of aristocratic republic, which is very different from the tsarist dictatorship of the Grand Duchy of Moscow. In Tsarist Russia, the rule of the people has always been brutal and rude. Until World War I, the Czar treated soldiers as gray animals, completely disregarding the lives and rights of ordinary people.

Therefore, the Smolensk people would rather join the Grand Duchy of Lithuania than accept the rule of the Grand Duchy of Moscow. In the eyes of Vasily III, this was a rebellion, while the Smolensks thought it was a rejection of cruelty.

In general, both sides seem to have reasonable positions, but neither is reasonable...

Smolensk is right to be unwilling to be ruled brutally, but there is no need to join Lithuania... and Vasily III... how to say, people just join the Rus country, and there is no need to accept your rule. The royal family of the Grand Duchy of Moscow did not say "All Russ must be ruled" on their forehead...

In the final analysis, the unification of the Russian states by the Grand Duchy of Moscow is about military power, not destiny.

In Marin's view, the Grand Duchy of Moscow and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania are actually just dog-biting battles for hegemony. There is no right or wrong, and the nature of World War I is similar.

If it weren't for the fear that the Grand Duchy of Moscow would be too strong after the rise, Marin would not bother to help Lithuania. Of course, Marin is more at ease with Lithuania, assuring that they will not be strong. In addition to historical proof, their system also determines that Lithuania cannot be strong.

The Grand Duchy of Lithuania is similar to a noble republic, similar to a primitive meeting of tribal leaders, with scattered power. Although this country is large in size and has a large population. But because of the inability to centralize power, a large country cannot exert its strength. Therefore, it was rubbed by the Teutonic Knights in the early period and rubbed by the Grand Duchy of Moscow in the later period. Had it not been for resistance to Poland, it would have been over.

Marin is willing to support such a country that cannot be supported. Because it is not a threat. However, because of its large size, Lithuania looks bluffing. If it is a tailwind, Lithuanian aristocrats will rush forward, giving people a feeling of being overwhelmed by the mountains, and it seems very powerful. But if you encounter adversity or even severe adversity...it's hard to say...

The Grand Duchy of Moscow seems backward and barbaric, but because the Grand Duchy of Moscow can concentrate power. Therefore, although this country is very poor and barbaric, it can explode with tremendous energy. Fortunately in this era, it was scary in the 19th century when the people were mobilized. During the First World War, Russia froze and pulled out 15 million strong men to join the war, which was very scary. In the early days, Germany was forced to dispatch a million troops to deal with it, but it was only after the start of the war that Tsarist Russia was very empty and the number of people was useless. Had it not been for the fact that Tsarist Russia had defeated the same bad Austro-Hungarian army in the Battle of Belarus, it is estimated that Russia would become the biggest joke.

Of course, the problems of Tsarist Russia are actually mainly in logistics and war thinking. Because of the backward economy and the difficulty in supplying materials, the Russian army was forced to work hard with bayonet. But the Germans used machine guns to wash the floor, and they would not let you get close...

In short, Russia's demographic advantage is still daunting. You know, the entire German region, including Austria, has only 12 million people. And the Grand Duchy of Moscow, a country, is worth tens of millions. If the tactical level is the same as the weapon level, then there is no need to compare...

Fortunately, Marin, the head of the Grand Duchy of the North Sea, is a traverser with advanced tactics and a large number of "black technology" weapons. Therefore, as long as you are fully prepared, you can still win.

When Vasily III was preparing for war, Marin was not idle either. The Beihai country has developed industries, and its military-related factories are preparing munitions.

In addition to food factories preparing military ration biscuits, other factories are also preparing. For example, Marin established a new arsenal to produce improved swarms of rockets. An armor factory was also established to produce the "Jiangnan Tannery" armor to prepare for the outbreak of the subsequent war.

Marin's fight this time requires a quick advance, and he was caught off guard against the Grand Duchy of Moscow. Therefore, all weapons and equipment should be light and not heavy. This is true for military rations, and so are weapons. Marin didn't plan to bring heavy artillery or something. Siege of the city or something, planning to use the method of digging tunnels and burying gunpowder barrels to blow down the city walls. For this reason, Marin has sent someone to dig the tunnel leading to the root of the city wall.

In line with the army of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, Marin planned to use the improved version to swarm. Then, assault and flanking. Even if there are too many people on the other side, in front of this kind of abnormal play, they will be at a loss. Unless, the other party has intelligence personnel to get the information in advance. But that is impossible...

The only party who is not prepared is probably the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. After all, the Grand Duchy of Moscow also intends to hit them by surprise. Therefore, the three parties that will participate in the war in the future, two are prepared, and the other has no knowledge...
